Memphis Personal Catering is a subsidiary of Armstrong Diversified Corporation, a North Carolina based Corporation founded in Watauga County North Carolina in 2008, but is now located in Memphis, Tennessee.

Our recipes and menus are based on Natural Foods, for the health of the people, the environment, and all of the creatures that reside on this earth. All the ingredients that we use are Genetically Modified Free, Natural and Organic when desired. All food items are made from scratch using fresh vegetables, meat and herbs. We cook the food in your house, so that it is fresh and hot when your guests arrive, and your party starts.

Because of our ala Carte menus we develop our food around your party. We offer everything from appetizers, buffets, or multi course meals.
